  1. 6. The role of copulatory wound infliction on fitness in Drosophila melanogaster

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Dennis Leandersson; [2021]
    Keywords : Copulatory wounding; Fecundity; Drosophila; Fitness; Cryptic female choice; Adaptive harm hypothesis; Pleiotropic harm hypothesis;

    Abstract : One of the more fascinating Darwinian puzzles in sexual selection is that of copulatory wounding. For those taxa displaying this behavior, and that does not engage in traumatic insemination, the function of wound infliction during copulation remains unknown. READ MORE

  3. 7. Evaluating patterns of selection in reproductiveand digestive protein genes of seed beetles. : A comparative approach.

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för biologisk grundutbildning

    Author : Konstantinos Papachristos; [2021]
    Keywords : Seed beetles; Seminal fluid proteins; Female reproductive proteins; Digestive Proteins; Natural selection; Molecular evolution;

    Abstract : Seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) have been shown to affect the physiology,behaviour and immune responses of mated females in some species. Thisopen window for manipulation of female’s fitness allows the possibility forcomplex evolutionary dynamics between the SFPs and proteins of femalesthat would counter the effects of the former, the female reproductive proteins (FRPs).

  4. 8. eValuate - A Sports Analytics mHealth App : Featuring the Perceived Load and Fitness Scale for Overtraining Prevention and Intervention

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Ala Abed; [2020]
    Keywords : mHealth; sports analytics; app development; custom questionnaire; overtraining;

    Abstract : Health and fitness apps have become ubiquitous as smart devices become a major necessity in day-to-day life. However, an obvious issue with mobile health (mHealth) apps is that a substantial portion of them lack a scientific foundation and instead utilize  experiential  stratagems.  Hence,  the  acquired  data  becomes  unreliable.

  5. 9. Genes and factors responsible for Pseudomonas aeruginosa resistance ability

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Haveela Kunche; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Antibiotic resistance has become a growing medical problem in the past years due to the resistance shown by numerous microorganisms that are potential disease-causing agents. This developed resistance makes it hard to treat and prevent infections. It is vital to understand the genetic mechanisms behind resistance to address this problem. READ MORE

  6. 10. Training Neural Networks with Evolutionary Algorithms for Flash Call Verification

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS)

    Author : Yini Yang; [2020]
    Keywords : Evolutionary algorithm; Network optimization; Backpropagation; Evolutionär algoritm; Nätverksoptimering; Backpropagation;

    Abstract : Evolutionary algorithms have achieved great performance among a wide range of optimization problems. In this degree project, the network optimization problem has been reformulated and solved in an evolved way. A feasible evolutionary framework has been designed and implemented to train neural networks in supervised learning scenarios. READ MORE
